Also on San Ramon Valley Blvd., in premises that have been home to a variety of restaurants over the years, most recently Gianni’s, Rosmarino is another fairly new addition to the San Ramon dining scene. The ambiance is quite upscale and seems little changed from the previous ownership, also Italian. The menu is typical of many Italian restaurants with a good selection of pasta dishes as well as a variety of meat and seafood dishes. There are suggestions that the new owners had some teething troubles, but this appears to be in the past and the food is getting consistently high reviews now.
